Default Selection of Max Date

[jpersinger]

I am trying to use a search string to create a dynamic bookmark which selects the most recent date as seen in this video:

 Dynamic Default Bookmarks in Qlik Sense 

I have created a search string which correctly selects the most recent date, i tested this by pasting into filter pane search (date field is named [Date]):  =Date=Max({1} total Date)

The problem is when i save the bookmark after applying the filter it does not save the expression, just the resulting value.

So today the bookmark would return 1/3/2020 and tomorrow it would still return that instead of 1/4/2020.  The video above clearly shows this is possible, so i'm not sure what i'm missing.

I followed the video and it appears to work.  I created a table with a few dates, added the formula in the search query, accepted the search results, and created the bookmark.  When I opened the app, the default date was the max date in the table.  I added another date, re-opened the app and the bookmark selected the new max date.  See the image below:

Thanks for replying.

That's exactly what i'm looking for, not sure why I am seeing a different behavior.

I'm assuming you took the formula exactly as I posted above?  =Date=Max({1} total Date)

I took the Set Expression from the screenshot you attached and tried that as well and still got the same result {<Date={"=Date=Max({1}total Date)"}>}

This is how the bookmark looks for me:  {<Date={'2020-01-02'}>} 

Which version of Qlik Sense did you do this in?  (I am on April 2019 patch 3)

I'm on June 2019.  If I don't press the enter key to accept the search formula before I create the bookmark, the formula is not included in the bookmark.

Wow!!

That is what we are doing different, I was clicking the green checkmark to confirm the selection.  I hit enter instead this time and it saved the formula.

I highly doubt that clicking the green checkmark to confirm a selection is supposed behave differently than hitting the enter key...

Either way, thank you!

To make this even more strange i just noticed that in the video he does click the green checkmark to confrim the selection.

Hi guys @jwjackso  @jpersinger  my version is Feb'19, is this why I can't do this?

it's all ok until i try to assign the expression...

It's ok up until the =Date , if i try =Date=max(Date) it says there are no results 

[jwjackso]

The formula should be

=Date=max({1} Total Date)

@jwjackso  hello, when I published the app, the bookmark =Date=max({1} Total Date) remained still to the certain max date before new data were loaded ( Now you know, new data get loaded every day ). Why is it that and how can i fix it?
